On the road again

May 31st, 2006, 5:09 am PDT by Greg

I’m back on the road in two senses…

First, we finally have a car: a 1994 Corolla that we found on Craigslist. Is it pretty? No. Is it rusty? Yes. Will it run for two years, given some minimal maintainance? I certainly hope so. We’re meeting the sellers to sign the paperwork momenarily.

Second, I’m on my way back to Vancouver tomorrow. First priority is handling the move to our new place—the movers are booked for the 5th, and I’m packing stuff up myself. That will probably suck, but at least it’s a well-defined amount of suckage, unlike buying a car or finding an apartment, either of which could have gone on indefinitely.

The timing of it all means I’ll be able to go to the SFU Open House on Saturday. I thought I was going to have to miss it, but it looks like I can go. Bonus: since I didn’t think I was going to be there, I’m not committed to actually do anything.

Then, a week or two to unpack and get a little work done, some meetings on the 15th and 16th, and back to NC.

    w00t, see you Saturday! I’ll be volunteering at the Speakers Corner table and will be filming people, so prepare something witty and/or inspiring to say.
